If you missed any of the workouts from days 1-4 today would be a perfect day make up that workout~!! If you ever miss a day of workouts- SHIFTING your workouts a day forward is better than SKIPPING them entirely.
30 days isn’t a long time, but BURN OUT can happen fast- It’s very key to PACE yourself and incorporate REST DAYS into your workout program for your physical and mental success!
Today’s Diet focus:
Try new food or recipe- Variety is key to diet success!
The Rally Room has a GREAT Recipe section– check out some of the great ones listed and PLEASE add yours!!!
AND….please comment with ideas of NEW foods, what you tried for your food, and with any other questions, tips, or thoughts!
Going to check out the recipes. Did eat something different this morning – oatmeal pancakes. A bit fed up with vegetable omelettes. I used a tiny bit of Pure maple syrup and half a banana for sweetness but I am going to buy baby Apple sauce for taste next time.
Going to take the kids out for a walk later. My son will be on his bike and baby in the pushchair. I always burn myself trying to go for a six day workout. I’ll have a rest day Sunday. I might make it to Tues/Wed and then won’t be able to workout out for days. This can turn into weeks if I lose momentum.
Having a rest day today is just about right for me!!! Just need to keep my eye on my diet.
Thank you for posting your blog. Ive been in a rut but I think its time to start fresh and new. No reason to wait either. Laying out my workout clothes tonight. Tomorrow is a new day.
Yea! Down 1.5 pounds so far this week! Thanks Michelle for posting these great workouts and for being an inspiration to moms everywhere!
Did 45 minutes of steady cardio first thing this morning – I have become a morning exerciser in the last few weeks, and it has changed who I am in becoming a fit person. When I get it over with, what comes up for the rest of the day doesn’t matter – I love that.
I am going to look for new veggie recipes. I need something to mix it up! 🙂 Have a great day, all!
Feeling a little sore…but loving it. I’ve been fighting migraines for the past 2 years…and working out often brings them on. It’s been frustrating for my fitness routine to say the least. Anyone have any ideas/suggestions? I’ve tried just about everything.
Gearing up for my workout.
Steady with the weight, looking forward to this “active” rest day as I am SORE! Finished up my cardio this morning so I can get on with my day…may hit it again this evening…just for kicks! 🙂
bleh, i hate long steady state cardio… think i’ll do pilates for an “active rest” today 🙂
Drink more water! water is the cure for everything. make sure you are properly fueling up before and after your workout with some fruit and lean protein. also, have you considered trying to go gluten free? some people find a reduction in migraines by changing their diet composition. this can include giving up grain carbs in general, or gluten and/or dairy.
I missed a workout yesterday so I will be working out after work!
If you havent tried spaghetti squash; its a MUST!! this is a staple item in my house and I use it in place of noodles, rice, and add to stir fry! Fantastic veggie!!
This is so true!! I get burnt out without proper rest, especially around certain times of the month!
doing well on day 5
A long Cardio day for me, Zumba!!!
Hmmmm…new recipes…I try a lot because I cook all the time…I will have to think of some to post…
Fun time rollerskating for an hour. Good cardio and good family time. Also got in some weight training.
sprints were a lot harder than i thought yesterday! today i have pole dancing class definitely a good one hour cardio!!! i feel so silly in there but its a good way to get me out of the gym and in a new atmosphere….
